Many people with an addiction do not receive the care they need. Addiction carries a negative stigma, admitting to addiction is seen as a sign of weakness. Especially among adolescents, who would benefit the most from early treatment. If they are treated, they end up in outdated facilities isolated from society. Hence the following research question: How can building design support adolescents with addiction problems with recovery and re-socialisation in the Netherlands? This research question will be answered using literature research and architectural research with the aim of formulating architectural guide lines that can be applied to a design for addicted adolescents.
